In this strange world of idolatry, it is
but a question of time and circumstance
before once celebrated dignitaries, heroes
and celebrities revert back into
ordinary human beings.

They shall be destine to remain on the
earth amid our indifference and in search of
the fame that once brought them glory.

They will find that humility and fame are
rarely found in the same place.
